Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Aqaba & Al Ahli face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Shield Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Al Ahli play their home games on artificial turf, while this game is played on grass. Recent stats for Al Ahli when playing on grass are 12 wins, 12 draws and 17 defeats from 41 matches. They have scored 47 goals and conceded 57 times in these games.
Aqaba form and stats
Last season their Shield Cup adventure ended in the group stage.Aqaba's struggle is real here with only 11 points collected from 11 Premier League games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 3-2-6. The last three games played by Aqaba, regardless of arena, have all ended draws. Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.
The home team returns after being equal after 90 minutes with Al Sareeh on their last time out; the Shield Cup game ended 1-1. The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a Premier League home game that ended 1-1 versus Shabab Al Ordon.
The Aqaba fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 12 in 11 matches. Aqaba have conceded 15 in these home matches.
Al Ahli form and stats
Al Ahli's mission in Shield Cup last season failed in the group stage.The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Al Ahli so far with only 8 points returning home. The records show 2-2-7 (win-draw-lose). A depressing five defeats in a row for Al Ahli in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Al Jazeera.
Al Ahli failed to get anything from their last game, a Shield Cup home match vs Al Faysali that ended with defeat 0-3. A home win before that, celebrating 2-1 vs Al Buqa'a.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Al Ahli as they have only managed to score 8 times from 11 away games in the league. In the opposite end, Al Ahli have conceded 18 goals in their away games.
